Samsung SyncMaster 2233SW 16:9 Widescreen LCD Monitor Review
Tweaknews posted a review on the Samsung SyncMaster 2233SW 16:9 Widescreen LCD Monitor

After several months of use, the Syncmaster 2233SW is a simple and cost effective 21.5" monitor that has the additional resolution bump up to 1920x1080. In fact, the 2233SW can be mistaken for a larger monitor thanks to its higher resolution and thin outer bezel.

Razer Megladon Headset Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Razer Megladon Headset.

It's been a long time coming but Razer finally brought the Megladon to market and we're here to find out if it was worth the wait. We've waited for about 9 months to get hands on the latest Razer Gaming headset. We reviewed the Moray Earbuds and Barracuda Headset and now it's time for the big dog Megladon.

Featuring 20 to 20,000Hz frequency response and the 40mm Neodymium drivers combined with 2.0, 5.1 and 7.1 sound capabilities. The Megladon has a Malestrom sound engine that is capable of visualizing to 7.1 Dolby at the push of a button. It also lets you individually set the sound on any of the 7.1 speakers. Tired of opponents sneaking up on you, the Medladon can be set for louder rear speaker volume and make those sneaky buggers sound like elephants trying to put the sneak and creep on you.

Diskeeper 2009 Professional Reviewed
TestFreaks posted a review on Diskeeper 2009 Professional

Today we will look at Diskeeper 2009 Professional which is designed to work silently in the PC background to keep fragmentation at bay. Similar to the 2008 version, Diskeeper 2009 uses InvisiTasking Technology and Frag Shield 2.0 to help maintain hard drive performance. It works silently in the background and requires very little user interaction.

ASUS 22T1E Review
InsideHW.com has reviewed ASUS 22T1E

It is hard to define exactly what ASUS 22T1E is: monitor or TV? It has 21.5inch panel that can display Full HD resolution (1080p). Because of this feature we can categorize this model as monitor since there are just few other TV models that have such resolution/size ratio. On the other side, if we take a look at other features such as numerous audio and video connectors it is clear that this is TV model. Our impression is that primary function of ASUS 2T1E is TV receiver so we will treat it as such.

Corsair P64 Performance Series 64GB SSD (CMFSSD-64GBG2D) Review
Computer & Consumer Electronic Reviews has posted a new article on the Corsair P64 Performance Series 64GB SSD (CMFSSD-64GBG2D)

The Corsair P64 is the smallest drive in the family but don't be fooled. The capacity is more than enough for your notebook or netbook. The numbers may claim that the drive isn't the fastest but the difference has been hard to notice in day to day use. The drive has been completely stutter free since day one and that's the biggest improvement and best reason to pick Corsair's Performance Series over everyone else in the market. Truly, the only change I can recommend is for Corsair to step up and stand by a much longer warranty than the two years it is currently offering.

DDR3 Roundup: New Elpida Powered Kits from OCZ, Mushkin and Corsair
Mad Shrimps posted a DDR3 roundup with new Elpida Powered Kits from OCZ, Mushkin and Corsair

Sometimes there's more to a memory module than meets the eye : Corsair Dominator and Mushkin Redline modules have always looked better than nice, and now they have the performance to match. We put these two against the OCZ Blade, a real high end kit based upon Elpida's "hyper" chips, and against our 8 previous triple channel kits, in order to get a good view of the Core i7 memory landscape to date.

CoolIT Domino A.L.C CPU Cooler Review
Vortez.co.uk posted a review on the CoolIT Domino A.L.C CPU Cooler

Liquid cooling has for a long time been the desired formed of cooling for enthusiasts. For some, it provides extreme cooling while for others, it offers silence without compromise. But for many, it is also a work of art and I'm sure everyone has drooled over the work of someone's tidy network of tubing, filled with UV sensitive coolant, at some point in their life! The problem is that this has mostly certainly been a playground restricted to the more risk taking, patient and determined enthusiasts amongst us.

This is where CoolIT Systems comes in. What they bring is a liquid cooling system that is all contained, easy to install but that also hopes to bring its benefits to people who may not be ready for a proper liquid cooling solution. It might take the fun out of researching and building a system of your own but the fact that it requires no need for maintenance coupled with no mobility issues, makes it a very attractive product.

Cooler Master V8 CPU Cooler Review
Verdis Reviews posted a review on the Cooler Master V8 CPU Cooler

Recently we've been taking a look at some pretty high end CPU coolers which, despite the different fin configurations and heatpipe layouts, are all reasonably similar. The Cooler Master V8, which we are to take a look at in this review, is a litter different in that although it is based on a tower format design it has added heatsinks on both sides and a centrally mounted fan.

The V8 appears to be somewhat of a brute as CPU coolers go with its fiery red LEDs and countless heatpipes massing together at its base. Our i7 test rig has put to shame many a cooler in the past, so how will the V8 fare? Let's find out.

Rosewill RM-8500 Wireless Laser Mouse Review
DreamWare Computers posted a review on the Rosewill RM-8500 Wireless Laser Mouse

For a lot of average notebook consumers, their computer is simply a secondary PC for around the house and on the go. All notebook owners know that a hardware mouse is significantly more comfortable than the track pad - but why pay upwords of $45 for a mouse you won't be using heavily? My searches turn up nearly empty for inexpensive notebook mice that are actually comfortable and have decent features on them. When Rosewill offered me the opportunity to check out their latest, and highly affordable RM-8500 mouse, I was anxious to see what this little mouse with a little price tag would bring to the table!

NZXT Cryo S Laptop Cooler Review
Hi Tech Legion posted a review on the NZXT Cryo S Laptop Cooler

To combat the effects of the added use and heat build up of a laptop, most computer component companies have begun to develop different methods and components to help in cooling the tightly packed system of a laptop. One of the more common methods is with an active laptop cooler to raise the laptop off of the work surface and provide extra airflow by way of underside mounted fans. Previously, I reviewed one such cooler from NZXT, the Cryo, which was a foldable 17 inch capable laptop cooler, which helped to cool any laptop. NZXT also has a younger sibling to the Cryo for 15 inch laptops, for those who don't need the big brother, which does take up a bit of space.

Thermaltake Element G Mid-Tower Case Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Thermaltake Element G Mid-Tower Case

The right case can make or break a build. It is the utmost outer expression of your PC's personality. From the eggshell steel 'whitebox' to the acrylic torture rack, PC cases vary greatly in form and function. My first real gaming computer was housed in a Thermaltake Armor Jr. I was never a big fan of the hinges and the door was a bit flimsy, but I loved that system and logged thousands of hours on it playing various games. My most recent case was also by Thermaltake, the Mozart TX, which is a huge step up - easily one of the largest PC cases on the market. Today we are getting to test out one of Thermaltake's latest offerings in the gaming case market, the Element G.

Noctua NF-S12B Review
PureOverclock posted a review on the Noctua NF-S12B

Noctua is renowned for their silent fans, and from our experience we've seen them to be excellent quality, so that's two ticks in the Good column. They also are rather expensive though, but as we've come to learn, top performance rarely comes cheap. Noctua has released their NF-S12B FLX case fan, a successor to the S12 that showcases a few design improvements. But is performance better as a results? Let's find out.

Patriot Corza NAS PCZ35SNAS2
Benchmark Reviews checked out the Patriot Corza NAS PCZ35SNAS2

Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems have found their way into homes just as they did with the office space years ago. Prices for NAS server products have dropped to the point where it's more expensive to buy the drive that goes in them than the actual storage device itself. Patriot, a company based around memory technologies, has recently began to sell the Patriot Corza Network Storage Server PCZ35SNAS2 to retailers for under $100. This dual-bay SATA NAS can accommodate either SSD or hard disk storage media, and offers RAID-0/1/JBOD configurations over a gigabit Ethernet network connection. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the transfer speeds for the Patriot Corza NAS against some of the biggest names in the industry, and determines just how much value you can get from this network storage appliance.

Vizo Arius II ARS-250 Dual 2.5-inch SATA Drive Bay Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Vizo Arius II ARS-250 Dual 2.5-inch SATA Drive Bay

One problem with putting a solid state drive in your desktop PC is that no one has made a case with slots that accepts 2.5" form factor drives. Sure, you can do the old stack of drives at the bottom of the case or install the drives with just one screw holding it in place, but these are hardly solutions worthy of a 300-400 Dollar SSD. The server room has already migrated to the 2.5" form factor, but desktop guys will have to take matters in their own hands.

Enter the Vizo Arius II, a dual 2.5" drive bay that installs in a desktop 3.5" slot just like a floppy drive. The Arius has a couple of nice features that we will look at today.
